But I would put things more simply and more strongly than you have. I would suggest something like "The ordering of the authors' names does not connote differences in contributions. It is strictly alphabetical." | |
| Dec 25, 2013 at 6:26 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | In fields where author's names are listed alphabetically -- like mathematics -- it is a very bad practice to say "Author1 et al". More strongly, barring exceptional circumstances when you refer to a theorem by multiple people you should say all the people's names whenever you say any of them. | |
